Customer support professional handling payments

This guide looks at a senior, permanent customer support role in Cape Town, offered through Datafin for a digital payments and fintech business. It suits an experienced support professional who can untangle complex merchant and payment problems, keep customers informed, and help stop the same issues from happening again.

About Datafin and the Support Role

Datafin is recruiting for a role that supports a digital payments and fintech company, working across its payment gateway. In this environment, support is not only about answering questions: it is about tracing what went wrong, explaining it clearly, and coordinating the fix with the right teams.

The senior level of the role also brings a coaching element. Alongside handling the more difficult cases, the agent helps other agents develop and may step in for the team leader when needed, so judgement and steady communication are central to the day-to-day work.

Main Duties of the Role

  • Resolving complex merchant queries and technical payment issues across a payment gateway.
  • Investigating payment and integration problems and tracing transactions.
  • Keeping merchants informed during incidents and coordinating updates.
  • Working with product, engineering, infrastructure, risk and finance teams to prevent recurring problems.
  • Coaching other agents and deputising for the team leader when required.

Most Common Requirements

  • Education: A post-school diploma or degree in IT, computer science, engineering, business, finance or a related field.
  • Certification: ITIL Foundation or Intermediate certification.
  • Experience: Three to six years of technical or application support experience.
  • Payments experience: At least three years in payments.

Exact requirements depend on the official posting, so always read the details for this specific role before applying.

  • Highlight coaching or senior support work, not only case volume.
  • Keep your CV focused on payments, gateways and technical support tools.
  • Check that your qualifications and years of experience match the listing before applying.
